Hi, Known: The ALAC can give advice to the ICANN Board on anything related to ICANN. The ANgWG can recommend to ALAC anything that is within our charter. Roll out issues for the new gTLD program are in our charter. Probable: Since the charter includes roll out issues and there seems to be agreement that this issue is in scope as a roll out issue, we can make a recommendation on it to ALAC. Unknowns: What recommendation the group might make, if any. Whether the ALAC accepts our recommendation. What the Board does with any advice the ALAC might give based on our recommendation, if any. Dev's group has a tighter mandate since they are restricted to issues that are either: - Limited Public Interest, the euphemism used for Morality and Public Order - Harmful to a specific community Hope that answers. parminder <parminder@itforchange.net> wrote:

Thanks for the information.
Can you specifically tell me if your WG can or cannot give advice to ICANN (through ALAC of otherwise) against giving private tld exceptions, especially when generic words are being applied for as TLDs? I understand, as you say, that whether it actually gives any such rec is subject to the outcomes of the discussion, but you would know whether if it is at all within the mandate of your WG to do so. For instance, Dev's WG on gTLD reviews did not decide on the merit of ITfC's inputs. It did
not find it to be something that the Group can even consider any action
about. Can you group consider any such action in form of recs etc. This
is my question.
Thanks, parminder

Hi,
In this case the At-Large New gTLD WG, has as one of its chartered work items, the task of reviewing issues with the roll out of new gTLDs. The issues are brought to the group, discussed and if there is
support in the group for taking some form of action, a recommendation
its made to the ALAC. Alac then decides whether
The issue of private generic TLDs its already on the list of issues to be discussed:

The discussion is just starting and I cannot predict at this point what might come of it.

Dear Dev
IT for Change thanks the gTLD Review Group for giving
consideration to
its inputs.
I did not quite understand that is the remit of this other group
headed
by Avri.... What kind of output/ recs can it produce? Is
commenting on
the overall policy within its remit? Thanks for providing these clarifications. parminder

Dear All, The gTLD Review Group (gTLD RG ; https://community.icann.org/x/u7-bAQ) received a comment from IT for Change, India on September 11 2012. IT for Change, India's comment was not directed at a specific application or ap! plicant but was posted to the At-Large new gTLD Applications Dashboard at
https://community.icann.org/display/newgtldrg/multiple-strings-by-IT-for-cha...
for comment. The comment by IT for Change, India is that allowing generic words as private TLDs (i.e with single registrant, with no requirement to make second level domain names available to the open market) is against the public interest. Because such a concept is outside the scope of any particular applicant or application, the gTLD RG will not be submitting a comment for the ALAC for possible submission to ICANN's new gTLD comment forum before the close of the Application Comment Period on September 26 2012. However, given the concept raised regarding generic words becoming private TLDs has policy implications that impacts individual Internet! end users, the gTLD RG recommends that the issues raised be referred to the At-Large new gTLD Working Group
(new
gTLD WG ; https://community.icann.org/x/8Yoi) for discussion and possible policy recommendations. We note that the issues referred to the new gTLD WG from past comments received by
the
gTLD RG (https://community.icann.org/display/newgtldrg/.book+_OG)
have
been added to the new gTLD WG's agenda. Kind Regards, Dev Anand Teelucksingh Chair, gTLD Review Group
